Partnership Success Stories

Supermarkets

We couldn’t have a better partner than FoodPlay Productions —they are the cornerstone of our community relations and marketing initiatives and a great way to make a real difference in the lives of the families throughout our region.”
—Molly Tarleton, Community Relations Specialist, Hannaford Supermarkets [See full success story.]

Hospitals and Healthcare Organizations

Our partnership with FoodPlay is helping us effectively place our messages in 225 schools, reaching over 90,000 students, plus their families….fantastic feedback…widespread media coverage…a highly effective way to promote healthy eating and active living to youth, while spotlighting our campaign throughout our target area.”
—Terry Behunin, Senior Director of Marketing, Intermountain Healthcare [See full success story.]

 The FOODPLAY program couldn’t have been a better way to bring healthy eating information to the kids. It was fun, entertaining, and was packed full of information relevant to the school curriculum. Over 2,000 kids and teachers from Carroll County and Carrollton City schools were bussed in to Tanner Medical Center to visit our new Health Education and Wellness Learning Center for a field trip to see FOODPLAY. This was an exciting program for the kids and a great way to show off our new facility.”
—Gina Brandenburg, MS, CHES,Community Outreach Manager, Tanner Health Source [See full success story.]

The FOODPLAY program totally met our objective of combating childhood obesity in our community. The fact that the kids are still talking about the message in their homes is reinforcement to us that it met our expectations and was a part of our community mission.”
—Dawn Denton, RN, BS, Community Education Manager, Atlantic General Hospital

We’re very excited to extend our sponsorhip of FOODPLAY, a program that’s been extremely successful promoting nutrition in the schools, to a much broader audience through television. Our Treat Your Body Right! campaign brought together the strength of New England’s leading children’s TV station with FoodPlay Productions to reach as many kids as possible with health messages that children can understand, and places those messages in the middle of TV programs that children watch. It’s a perfect match with outstanding results!”
—Susan Pauker, M.D., Executive Director, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Foundation

Healthy Food Products

Working together with FoodPlay was flawless. We liked how they incorporated Stonyfield Farm products into the show for our MooVille Tour. They were extremely professional, easy to work with, and delivered a great show!”

We really appreciate all the work you have done to “go above and beyond.” We have been very pleased with all aspects of the FoodPlay program and we have already starting “bragging” about the best Soyfoods Month promotion we have ever had.  Keep up the good work!”
—Mark Albertson, Director of Marketing and Special Projects, Illinois Soybean Association [See full success story.]

Public Health Organizations

With FoodPlay Productions, we found a highly effective science-based approach which teaches the critical life skills young people need to improve their eating and exercise habits. We are excited to use the enthusiasm generated by their live theater shows to make real changes in schools and communities by improving the nutrition and health choices offered.”
